The Grindstone.

After using the grindstone in the
winter itshould not be allowed TO stand
exposed to freezing weather.
Ii is generally used in cold weather
with warm water and this followed by
freeze is very apt to injure the stone-
Sometimes 1t will be found badly
cracked. and the farmers wonders who
has misused his grindstone.
Sometimes piece OF the stone is en-
tirely broken of, as ifstruck by heavy
sledge.
In both cases 1t is warm followed by
a freeze.
Keep the CRIED stone under cover and
IL 1t be possible, out of the reach OF
frost.

ERN LIVING have brought 1t

pains about the chest and sides,
and sometimes in the back.
They feel duh and sleepy; the
mouth has a bad taste, especi-
ally in the morning. A sort
of sticky slime collects about
the teeth. The appetite is poor.
There is a feeling like a heavy
load on the stomach; sometimes
a faint, all-gone sensation at
the pit of the stomach which
food does not satisfy. The
eyes are sunken, the hands
and feet become, cold and feel
elammy. After a while .
cough sets in, at first dry, but
after a few months it is at
tended with a greenish colored
expectoration. The patient
feels tired all the while, and
sleep does not seem to afford
any rest. After n time he be-
comes nervous, irritable and
gloomy, and has evil forebod--
ings. There is a giddiness, a
sort of whirling sensation in
the head when rising mp sud-
denly. The bowels become
costive; the skin is dry and
hotat times; the blood becomes
thick and stagnmlt; the whites
of the eyes become tniged with
yellow; the kidney seefetions
becomes scanty and high col
ored, depositIng n sediment
after standing. There is fire.

food, sometimes with n sour
taste and sometimes with n
sweetish taste: this is fire.

tation OF the heart and Asth-

The effect of this remedy is

the testimonials in favor OF it's

who want to make homes here and

those who want to find land they

TEsg3 LCr BER TRADE.
A Very Vigorous Protest From
Ihe Pacific Coast

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-The
manufacturers of lumber on the
Pacific Coast have sent to the mem
bers of the California delegation one
of the ablest statements received from
any part of the country against the
reduction ofthe tariff on lumber. The
petition saws that if Humber is on the
free list it will at once unfavorably
affect the prosperity of the Pacific
Coast and increase that of British
Columbia, where lumber lands are
given to the mills at the rate of 20
cents per acre, and which are now
more accessible to water and where
labor is cheaper, owing to large en-
ployment of Chinese. There are in
California, Washington and Oregon
100 sawmills, employing over $50,
900 men, without counting the
crows of over 200 vessels engaged
IN freighting lumber. The petitions
state that the taking of the tariff off
OF the lumber would at once give the
entire business to British Column
bia.
The petition also recites that if
the tariff is taken off of lumber all
citizens in the trade on tho Pacific
Coast and their employees will de-
aand in justice that the duty on
iron, corda.e, sugar, and other
things which SO to make up the
manufacturing cost of lumber be also
repealed in order that If the lumber
interest is to be placed in full and
in open competition with mills in
Canada the conditions of cost and
of manufacture may be also equal
lied. The petition is signed by
seventy firms and companies en-
gagged in the lumber industry.
